In depth
Verdict
ALL CLASS (NAP) had shown little indication of ability on the Flat or over jumps until returning to Turf at Navan last month and landing a touch. She was well suited by 1m5f on testing that day and though raised 10lb is probably still on a fair mark. Winston Wolfe scored over 2m at Dundalk in January so the trip won't be a problem while Colin Keane has been booked for Nudge The Judge, who wasn't too far behind the selection last time and has a big weight advantage. Metal Man is capable of a big run on a going day and scored over hurdles last summer.
